3/5
There's a lot of Biblical and philosophical meat to chew on by now, but I have to admit that it makes my head hurt. Go to Full Review Amy Amatangelo Paste Magazine 10/08/2015
9.3/10
The clever trick Fargo is pulling off is creating suspense and mystery even though viewers already know whodunit. Go to Full Review Alan Sepinwall HitFix 10/07/2015
Though the series has winked at the movie before... By all rights, the comparison should be wildly unflattering. But if any episode of the series has earned the right to do it, it's "Buridan's Ass." Go to Full Review Kevin Yeoman Screen Rant 10/09/2015
It's a testament to the show that, with everything else that's going on, 'Buridan's Ass' manages to make Lester's temporary escape from the hospital and subsequent planting of evidence... more than just an ancillary incident to pass the time. Go to Full Review Roth Cornet IGN Movies 10/07/2015
9.3/10
Lester Nygaard continued his decent into a moral wasteland... in what was one of the most emotionally dark and visually pretty episodes of Fargo to date. Go to Full Review Carla Day TV Fanatic 10/07/2015
4.5/5
Fargo Season 1 Episode 6 was an hour full of killing, manipulation, self-preservation and one quest to make good on a prior misdeed. Overall, the bad guys without remorse kept on winning. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
